Strictly average movie

RipDelight

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

TaryBiggBall

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Sarita Rafferty

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
